Martial Arts Schools in Boise

“We enjoyed our experience at Yong In Master Lee’s Taekwondo. The Masters and instructors gave my kid special attention and encouragement. We first found out about this place by attending a birthday party here. All the children got to break a board and got a great introduction offer to start classes.“

“We recently signed up our son (7) for classes. There was a free offer to come try it…. so glad we did! Tuesday was our first night and it was so cool. Our son had a great time and was excited to join!
Place is super clean. Great atmosphere. A good size class, everyone has a partner. Coaches are welcoming, experienced, kind & attentive.
Our son’s second class was tonight and from Tuesday to tonight- there was already a significant change in his form! Awesome!
Thanks!!!“

“My family can’t speak highly enough of Boise Studio of Self Defense! Our older Daughter is 10 and has been with them for over 2 years now, she’s a blue/green belt and our 8 year old Daughter has been attending just over a year and just got her blue belt! They love the Kempo program here!! Sensei Tyson is great with the kids, he teaches them skill and discipline while still having fun. The business owners are also great, extremely accommodating and family oriented. We’ve brought friends in with us over the years and the kids have such a great time all together. We love ninja nights too! We highly recommend this dojo and so grateful we found them! Thanks Boise Studio of Self Defense!“

“I need to say first off I’ve never been to Reign Jiujitsu but I train over at Egley Train Boise.One day I was at Walmart I was wearing my Egley Boise hoodie and someone said “love the sweater bro” can’t remember their exact words, but it was something like that.So I thanked him and we got to talking and he mentioned he trained at Reign Jiujitsu and he started complimenting us saying we had heard we had really intense training sessions and that we were hard workers, so long story short he had lot of good things to say so I invited to join us for an open mat sometime.All the good things he was saying, I think that speaks wonders of what the Professor of Reign is instilling into his students.Note to the professor: keep up the good work.“

“Master Kim's has been one of the best things we could have ever done for our daughter. Every single one of the instructors are *amazing* and we can see the impact each of them has on her. We appreciate the way that Master Kim incorporates mindset lessons into each session. This has been a key differentiator for us. As someone who grew up with family who did Taekwondo, I can say without a doubt there is something really special about Master Kim's. Here's what I mean: Recently, our daughter has been facing increased angst/feelings of overwhelm in social settings. When this happened as we came in for class, Master Bae got down to her level, looked her in the eyes, put her arm around her, and just spoke to her human-to-human. As a mom, it was a moment that's hard to put into words. It really does feel like a community at Master Kim's, and it's great to see this awesome blend of discipline, respect, compassion---really all of the values they teach---being fully lived out.“

“It's rare these days to find authentic Jeet Kune Do - not just the name, but the method and mindset. In Boise, Idaho training with Sifu Chris Kent has been one of those rare opportunities. Chris is a direct student of Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee's close friend and protégé), so what we practice is only a generation removed from the source.
JKD is dynamic, it's not a rigid checklist of techniques, it's a way of moving and thinking. In class we train timing, range, and the art of the intercepting fist, but we also learn a way of approaching problems: simple, efficient, honest. That philosophy bleeds out of the school and into life, it sharpens your decisions, your timing, and your confidence.
On top of JKD, Chris teaches Kali/Escrima and real knife work - practical, skillful, and grounded in real application. What stands out most is how Chris teaches: he supports people showing up as themselves, pushes you to improve, and helps you find your personal expression within the art. A teacher like that is rare.
If you want to learn the real thing - technique, mindset, and honest combat methodology with flow reach out to Chris Kent. This is the way of the intercepting fist.“
